You (Part the Second)
“Oh fuck, I could have ruined your career!” Alice wailed, feeling shittier than before, if that was even possible. She couldn’t believe it when Dana started laughing. It started off slow, and it was obvious she was trying to stop herself, but after awhile she stopped caring and just went with it.
When she could finally speak again, Dana said weakly, “Right, Alice, because a rumor about my personal life, which has absolutely nothing to do with my game, would just take me off the tennis circuit forever.”
“Well, it certainly wouldn’t help,” Alice responded in all seriousness, sending Dana into a fit of laughter again. Taking Alice’s hand when she calmed down again, she said gently, “No, as much as it pissed me off, I went over the line after you said it. I mean, I was your best friend before all the relationship shit, and I didn’t even notice that you were killing yourself with drugs. I’m so sorry, Al. Really, I am. For everything. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
Alice pulled away as if she’d been poked with a very long needle. “If you didn’t mean to hurt me, why’d you leave? I mean, if it wasn’t for Lara…” she swallowed visibly. “Honestly, Dana, I’m trying to remember but I just don’t. Maybe I blocked it out or something. I mean, I know things were weird but I thought we were working through them!”
“We were, Al. At least, we were going through the motions. But after awhile it just got like it was before. I know I didn’t help matters, and I should never have flirted with Lara or given you any reason to distrust me…and I’m really sorry for that, Al. But it just got to the point where I couldn’t go to the bathroom by myself without you accusing me of something. And I was an idiot; I just decided that if we never brought it up, it’d go away. And it didn’t, it just got worse and worse until I thought I was either going to kill you or myself. So I did the stupid thing and walked away. Without even trying to talk about, or get help, or anything. I’m so sorry.”
“I’m sorry too. I’m sorry I didn’t just talk to you about it. We used to talk all the time, about everything. Then we got together and it was basically just sex without any talking…”

This is so much more real than what IC told us I hope she is reading as well. You lived up to your talent without a doubt. I love what you are doing with this story and will continue. Maybe even keep Dana alive because that’s what all us Danish readers want. Anyway please keep writing! You made my day a little better.
Great job! I really enjoyed it. This is a much more believable direction that Danish is taking. It’s good to see them talking it out. In my opinion, they need each other. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait to read more.
I love the direction your heading with this story,excellent update!! Your doing one hell of a job muted,PPS
Ok, totally love this story. If only IC could have written something so great… and Danishy believable. This is so much easier to grasp than the shit IC put our girls through. Please update again soon, because I am really enjoying this story, even though this was only the second chapter! :-)
Even thought it’s breaking my heart that they did break up and Dana did go back with Lara — an Alice turned to the pills, so far you’re doing it in a way that at least has a direct relationship to the characters as we know and love them. Although I gotta say the above things were also three of the top four reasons (and that’s jus the Danish!) S3 is just to painful to think about, so I hope you’re gonna fix it, otherwise I just might need Alice’s meds all over again. Really looking forward to your next update.
Just got caught up with this fic, excellent job, Muted, it’s like the lost scenes we’ve needed. Yay! Danish friendship is not dead, and having this on the real show would have answered so many “WTF?”-type questions of how things played out on-screen. Is Dana going to let Lara know about her reconciliation of sorts with Alice? I like that you don’t have D and A just jumping to getting back together, but rather, talking about misunderstandings and…moving on (in whatever way/s you’re taking them…?). Can’t wait to keep reading the next updates, please post soon!
I like that you are allowing them to slowly heal. Dana’s illness will probably crop up soon, but I hope you give Alice some time to get stronger. In an out of character move for myself, I hope they don’t get together any time soon. I really like your story.
Why oh why couldn’t it have happened like this? Great post, pps :)
